ANKER-TEPPICHBODEN and post-war modernism<br />

The second phase <strong>of</strong> the modern era in Germany began with the buildings designed<br />

by Egon Eiermann. It was no longer the old Bauhaus teachers who now<br />

set about <strong>to</strong> shape the image <strong>of</strong> the Federal Republic <strong>of</strong> Germany but rather<br />

a new generation <strong>of</strong> architects. Egon Eiermann’s high-rise <strong>of</strong>fice building for<br />

delegates <strong>to</strong> the German Bundestag – also known as the “Langer Eugen” –<br />

and the German pavilion at the World’s Fair in Brussels were two <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

striking German buildings erected during this period.<br />

And the carpeting in both Bonn and Brussels was designed in cooperation with<br />

<strong>Anker</strong>-TEPPICHBODEN. The carpeting for the pavilion in Brussels featured<br />

a design developed by Pr<strong>of</strong>. Margret Hildebrand, the interior designer responsible<br />

for the project.<br />
